Curaçao Liqueur Distillery: Guided tasting & cocktail class

One hour learning how Senior Liqueurs have been made since 1896, tasting three flavors, and mixing a cocktail you choose

A guided tasting class at the Curaçao Liqueur Distillery where you learn the history of Senior Liqueurs, taste three different flavors, and make a signature cocktail in the courtyard. The standard option includes one cocktail; the deluxe adds a second cocktail and homemade gelato. A local guide leads the experience in English, Spanish or Dutch, and the whole visit runs about an hour.

The Experience

What makes a liqueur that's been produced the same way for over a century worth tasting? The Curaçao Liqueur Distillery answers that question by walking you through the process and the history at once. A trained local guide takes you through the small-scale operation, explaining how Senior Liqueurs are made and why they've stayed the same since 1896. You'll taste three different flavors as part of the tour, so you're not just hearing about the product—you're tasting the difference between them.

The tasting leads into the hands-on part: you choose a signature cocktail made with Senior liqueurs and watch it come together. The standard tour includes one cocktail; if you book the deluxe option, you get a second one plus homemade gelato to enjoy alongside it. Both versions finish in the courtyard, a quiet spot to sit with what you've made and what you've learned. Inside the mansion, a gift shop stocks Senior liqueur bottles and Curaçao souvenirs if you want to take something home.
